Skytips.co.uk review – Is Skytips a scam?

Jamie Kelly (the man behind the big scam 5 star tipsters) is now recommending a new system. Everytime you see something from this guy you have to be very sceptical and this time is no different.

This time he is recommending a greyhound system called Skytips. It is very easy to see what the general system is about. Mainly it is just to place a lay on almost all greyhound races everyday (you will get a file with the selections but am quite sure that there is no chance that a lot of time has been used to find some good lays since you place a lay in almost every race). If you lose your first bet then you try to win back the amount you have lost in the next race and so it continues.

In theory this should work very well, but everyone who has been playing around with Martingale systems knows that at some point you will get unlucky and experience a lot of losers in a row and all your winnings will be gone. You really need to do a lot of research to give these kind of systems a chance, and as always their does not seem to be any kind of research done with Skytips.

Please stay away from Skytips.co.uk I’m sure you will end up losing all your money if you try it out. When the losing run comes then the site will probably close down and another system will start up a couple of months later.

    I have had dealings with Skytips and I’m distinctly unimpressed for many reasons.

    You subscribe to use the services of a betting bot that places greyhound lay bets and so you have to leave your computer on all day with the bot active. The bot will place approximately 60 to 75 bets per day from late morning to 9.30ish in the evening. The lay selections are, in the main, outsiders and prices range up to 20.0 on the exchanges with each selection being laid for 50 pence. When there is a loser, the bot increases the stake to eventually win back the amount lost. The theory is that if all goes to plan, you will win say £25 to £35 per day.

    At first glance, this opportunity sounds great. Winning £30 per day for doing little except to activate the bot and import the selections file is very appealing. However, in my experience, it doesn’t work.

    Sure enough, most of the selections lose and there were days when the profit target was reached. However, the problem with laying outsiders is that some of them win. The reality is that it can take you all day to win say £20 only for it to be wiped out in a stroke. If that isn’t bad enough, there were several occasions when there were consecutive losers and believe me, with a loss recovery staking system, that is when your bank balance takes a real hammering! It is then very difficult and time consuming to recover.

    So who is the man behind Skytips? Frankly, your guess is as good as mine. The system was recommended to me via email by the notorious Jamie Kelly (is that his real name anyway?) but on the promotional website, this now reads Andrew Green (is that his real name?) Are they the same person? I’ll let you decide.

    Initially, I was offered a free trial but I didn’t subscribe at the end of it because I lost money. A few days later, I was offered a second free trial because it was claimed that the system had been improved. I accepted but after losing more than a £100 on the 3rd day, I decided, once again, not to proceed.

    What was most disturbing of all was the response I got from ‘Andrew Green’ after I had emailed him. He was rude and aggressive and most worrying of all, he was in total denial about the losses the bot had incurred. He had answered some of my emails but had ignored those that asked searching questions. When I pointed out that his manner was unprofessional to treat his customers in this way, he replied that he was very wealthy and that he could pick and choose who to do business with. I have kept all of my emails and his replies on file.

    One final point – when I checked out his subscription terms, it was made clear that no refunds would be given. For me, this one condition says a lot. My view is: why should anyone feel the need to make this a condition? If the product and service is what he claims it to be, then why would anyone want a refund anyway? On his promotional website, he claims: ‘Now Virtually Guaranteed Winning On Greyhounds Is Possible’. I’m confused by this statement; surely you can’t have something that is virtually guaranteed? It is either guaranteed or it isn’t.

    If you do WHOIS search on Skytips the site is registered to a Brian Aldridge. And 5startipster is registered to a “UK Individual”. However, if you click on the subscribe button for Skytips the Pyapal page has a email address for 5startipster. Is Jamie Kelly an alias for Brian Aldridge?
